One thing I do when i do the paint on method is too make my mixture fairly pasty, with just the dye and water. I paint on the paste and let it dry completely. I then make it a little wetter and paint the runny dye on top of the dryed up dye. It soaks into the dryed dye and reactivates it. It does take more time cause I have to do it 4-5 times to get the color where I want it normally.

I dont think too many chemicals used in the dyeing process will melt the plastic unless used wrong. I personally avoid chemicals mixed with the dye because i dont want to take that possible risk. Once I used some Laquer thinner to thin out my dye because it was a dry crusty powder. It did melt the vinyl I was masking with, but didnt damage the disc. It made the yellow coloring in this dye look much better. I think you all remember this one

OK, I got it to work. The dye itself doesnt look like much, but it was a pain in the ass. It is on a nearly perfectly clear Crystal Buzzz. The thing that made it so difficult was that the bee logo was a raised imprint on the bottom side of the disc. I just added the coloring. with the raised edges I was very worried about bleeding. This disc was so damn beautiful when I got it and didnt want to ruin such a beauty of a disc. Looks like I didnt I will get it back to you as soon as I can J Man!!!

All I want for Christmas is Sharpies and Rit Dye!!!!

Thats sweet, plus +1 for creativity.

Future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.

Thanks!!! It wasnt really being creative. It was more of following the raised areas that were already there and making sure not to have bleeding. A pretty simple dye, but definitely a pain in the ass!!!
